Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 PowerShell Cookbook - Fourth Edition

How to do it...

1. The first thing we need to do is load the EWS Managed API assembly into the shell:

      Add-Type -Path C:\EWS\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll 

2. Now we can create an instance of the ExchangeService class:

      $svc = New-Object       Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeService 

3. At this point, we can use the AutoDiscoverUrl method to determine the EWS endpoint on the closest Client Access Server for the mailbox with a particular SMTP address:

      $svc.AutoDiscoverUrl("[e-mail]") 

Now that we have an Exchange service connection created, we can send email messages, create and modify items within a mailbox, and perform other tasks. The outcome will look similar to the following screenshot:
